Reborn in a Beast-Taming World with the Wrong Pokemon System Chapter 15 15: The Results That Changed the Evolution System

Dr. Xu gave Jiang Xing so instruction on how to properly apply for research funding.

At the end, looking at Jiang Xing—who had suddenly co to a realization—he spoke: "For researchers, money is indispensable. Without sufficient funding, even raising one or two Pet Beasts requires a trendous amount of effort, let alone conducting large-scale research."

"But at the sa ti, it is also the least important thing."

"Compared to money, knowledge, ideas, a love for Pet Beasts, and an unceasing drive to think—those are what matter most."

Jiang Xing nodded, indicating he had taken it to heart.

Dr. Xu then picked up the draft of the paper and asked: "Jiang Xing, what do you think is the most critical elent in this paper?"

The most critical elent?

Was it the "wild imagination" of inspiration? The concept of combining mythology with Pet Beasts? The carefully designed process? Or perhaps the favor of Lady Luck?

Dr. Xu's question couldn't be that simple.

Jiang Xing recalled the evolution process of the Golden-Patterned Koi. Combining it with the knowledge in his mory, he suddenly understood sothing.

"Personality."

Hearing this answer, Dr. Xu nodded in satisfaction.

"Correct. Personality—or more precisely, the 'Mind-Selection Theory.'"

"For a long ti, in the field of Beast Taming, discussions surrounding this theory have never ceased."

"It has already been proven that a Pet Beast's thoughts can influence its evolution path, causing it to evolve into different forms."

"Extending from this theory, it's easy to infer that personality may also be a condition that influences evolution."

"For example, gentle-natured Pet Beasts tend to evolve into water-type or plant-type forms, while aggressive ones tend to evolve into fire-type or lightning-type forms…"

"This is the 'Personality Hypothesis' proposed by the psychic-type researcher Dr. Ail."

"However, because personality is too closely tied to thought—and due to the lack of concrete examples as evidence—"

"People have been unable to determine whether personality influences evolution, or whether thought determines the future."

"As a result, the relationship between personality and evolution has remained at the level of a hypothesis."

Like a normal lecture, Dr. Xu slowly explained knowledge about Pet Beasts.

Jiang Xing listened quietly. Thinking about how the brave Golden-Patterned Koi had evolved into the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling, he felt a spark of realization.

Sure enough, Dr. Xu continued: "Your paper ntions that you speculate that a brave Golden-Patterned Koi is more likely to undergo a transformation of will when leaping over the Dragon Gate, thereby evolving into a Rainbow Dragon Hatchling—"

"That's not precise enough, and your data isn't sufficient."

"You need more rigorous experints to prove this hypothesis."

"If you can successfully prove that 'a brave personality is a necessary condition for the Golden-Patterned Koi's evolution, rather than rely an influencing factor'—"

"Then this research will not just represent a simple Pet Beast evolution form—"

"It will also provide the strongest evidence for Dr. Ail's 'Personality Hypothesis,' elevating it from a hypothesis to a theory!"

"That would be an academic achievent worthy of going down in history!"

In the Beast Taming world, a Pet Beast's personality was not rely descriptive—it was a real, extraordinary force.

It didn't just influence behavior; it could also affect growth potential, aptitude, and more.

For example, a brave personality would increase a Pet Beast's attack potential, making its strength easier to improve.

A timid personality, on the other hand, would enhance evasion potential, making speed easier to develop.

Because of this, personality-related research had always been a hot topic.

At this mont, if Jiang Xing could prove that personality was also a necessary condition for evolution—

Then many researchers and doctors would gain inspiration.

It could very well lead to the ergence of nurous potential Pet Beast evolution forms in this world!

At this point, after receiving Dr. Xu's guidance—Jiang Xing finally recognized its importance.

'This result is far more valuable than the evolution conditions of the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling!'

'If I had overlooked this and rashly published the paper… it's very likely soone else would have identified the key point, completed the theory first, and taken the results…'

'I'd end up losing the bigger prize for the sake of sothing trivial.'

Jiang Xing felt fortunate and said gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher!"

Seeing his student co to his senses, Dr. Xu nodded in satisfaction.

He set down the paper and spoke seriously: "Don't beco imrsed in success. Even if you achieve academic results, you must maintain curiosity—"

"Why do different personalities cause Pet Beasts to evolve into different forms?"

"Why can a brave Golden-Patterned Koi complete a sublimation of will?"

"Why don't other Pet Beasts have this kind of evolution thod?"

"How does personality influence evolution? Are there other similar hidden conditions we have yet to discover?"

"Our understanding of Pet Beasts is still far too limited. We must always remain humble and curious. Ask more 'why,' and patiently verify them. Only then can you go further on the path of research."

At this mont, Jiang Xing finally understood why Dr. Xu could beco a respected Beast Taming researcher.

It wasn't rely due to the identity shift brought by changes in the world line.

At least within the Beast Taming world, his mindset and ability alone were enough to determine his achievents.

Jiang Xing said respectfully: "I understand, Teacher."

…

After leaving Xu Hai Research Institute, Jiang Xing felt the trip had been worthwhile.

It wasn't just about the research funding—Dr. Xu's guidance had benefited him greatly.

'The evolution conditions of the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling and Dr. Ail's Personality Hypothesis are actually part of the sa topic.'

'They can be published together.'

A thought stirred in Jiang Xing's mind.

The system task was to publish academic results, and the reward depended on performance.

So what kind of result could be more important than "perfecting the Pet Beast evolution theory and adding a new evolution condition"?

If he used this result to complete the task, wouldn't the reward be maximized?

Thinking of that, Jiang Xing humd in anticipation.

When he returned to the lab and thought about the seventy million in funding that was about to arrive, his posture straightened. He directly summoned the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling and waved his hand.

"Rainbow Dragon Hatchling, go on—your favorite Dragon Cubes. Today, eat as much as you want!"

"Mu!"

Yay!

The Rainbow Dragon Hatchling spun happily, turning into a streak of rainbow light. In the blink of an eye, it arrived beside the box storing the energy cubes.

With a flick of its tail, seven-colored light lifted the lid.

The next mont, its expression froze. Tears turned into two small rainbows hanging at the corners of its eyes.

"Mu!!!"

Where are my cubes?!

"What?"

Jiang Xing was startled. He hurried over to the Rainbow Dragon Hatchling and looked into the box.

The Dragon Cubes—of which nearly half a box had remained—had completely disappeared.

Inside the box, there was only a small clump of pink fluff the size of an apple.

It seed to be fur from so kind of Pet Beast, as soft as cotton.

…Had they run into a cube thief?
